Released in 2023, the Fifth National Climate Assessment (NCA5)'s Art × Climate gallery encourages people to engage with climate in a new way. This work by Meredith Nemirov imagines a Colorado landscape with abundant water and resilience to drought.

The troposphere, not the stratosphere, can be thanked for the cold weather this week.

Scientists widely agree that human-caused warming is generally making fires in California and the rest of the West larger and more severe. Figuring out how important long-term warming is to individual cool-season fires like the Eaton and Palisades Fires is a little more complicated.

The northwestern United States (including the states of Washington, Oregon, and Idaho) is home to nearly 14 million Americans. The region's diverse landscapes and inhabitants are variously affected by changing climate.

In this lesson, students will play, explore, appreciate, and practice perspective-taking in nature. All of these actions help positively connect youth to nature, and instill an ethic of care for the environment.

In this lesson, students will read brief biographies of youth climate activists and then reflect on how they can take climate action in their own lives. This lesson is best suited as the end of a unit or lesson on climate change as it requires some background knowledge on the causes of current climate change and potential mitigations or solutions.

In this lesson, students will find inspiration from innovative solutions, envisioning a hopeful future and their role in it.

In this lesson, students will participate in a short scavenger hunt to familiarize themselves with climate change mitigation strategies and solutions for decreasing heat-trapping emissions.

In this lesson, students will take time to connect to a place that is special to them. They are asked to sketch the features of their special place and prompted to think about how they interact with that place.

In this lesson, students will identify emotions they experience as they learn about the impacts of climate change. In pairs, students will practice active listening skills as one student describes their emotions to the partner who applies active listening skills. They then flip roles and the other student describes their emotions while the partner listens.
